Meanwhile, it looks like the Governor might just dodge prosecution over the grave corruption allegations against him.

This is after Auditor General Edward Ouko confirmed that the fire that burnt down the Migori County procurement office destroyed receipts of goods worth about Sh1.5 billion, making it difficult for him to confirm expenditures.

Auditor-General Edward Ouko has tracked expenditure worth Sh1.56 billion through the government online payment platform in the three months from July 1 to September 24, 2017 and whose receipts are unavailable.

The procurement office and part of the audit unit got burnt destroying crucial documents and computers.

“The expenditure could not be vouched for due to lack of relevant documents and financial records which allegedly got burnt during the fire outbreak leading to limitation of scope,” he said.

The county claimed that at the time of the fire incident, the procurement store contained tender documents, work tickets, payment vouchers, payment cashbooks and bank statements.
